Portland, Oregon, U.S. \u2014 November 21, 2022 \u2014 <\/strong>On December 8, 2022 at 3:15 pm GMT, Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden will present a stone Peace Lantern to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This gift is inspired by one which Portland received from Mayor Ry\u014dz\u014d Hiranuma of Yokohama in the years following World War II, when the world was still reeling from this tragic global conflict. The Peace Lantern broadcast a hopeful message of a more harmonious future and has been seen as an important step in the re-building of the relationship between Portland and Japan. Japan Institute has commissioned one of Japan\u2019s greatest living stonemasons to create a masterfully rendered replica of the original lantern, ensuring this meaningful gesture is passed on to a new generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This presentation to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew will be a historic moment \u2013 it is Japan Institute\u2019s first presentation of a stone lantern to a community and its people outside of Japan. Prior to London, the organization has gifted peace lanterns to the Japanese cities of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Tokyo. As a testament to their significance, all three lanterns are displayed in prominent public locations, aside Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, within Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum Square, and on the grounds of the International House of Japan in Tokyo. Several Japanese news outlets covered their dedication ceremonies, including NHK, Mainichi Shimbun, Fuji News Network, TBS, Chugoku Shimbun, RCC, and Yahoo Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The yukimi doro <\/em>(stone lantern with tripod legs) is stylized in the snow lantern form: the lantern\u2019s firebox is directly underneath a broad sloping roof resembling a traditional Japanese hat made from kasa<\/em> (rush). In English, a message of hope is inscribed in capital letters: CASTING THE LIGHT OF EVERLASTING PEACE. The lantern\u2019s installation in Kew\u2019s Japanese Landscape in London will be overseen by fourth-generation Japanese gardener and internationally acclaimed landscape designer, Sadafumi Uchiyama. Uchiyama serves as Chief Curator of Portland Japanese Garden and is Director of the Japanese Garden Training Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Richard Deverell, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew remarks;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cReceiving this important symbol of peace is a source of great pride for all of us at RBG Kew.  We have always sought to leverage the power of nature and our stunning living  collection to  make a positive impact in our shared world.  The lantern will be a beautiful and important addition to the Japanese Landscape here at Kew Gardens and we hope that visitors will come from far and wide to enjoy it and learn about its important meaning. Our connection to Portland and other botanic gardens the world over is a vital part of our work, sharing knowledge and resources to protect and restore nature for generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Bloom, CEO of Japan Institute of Portland Japanese Garden says;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJapan Institute was borne from what we have witnessed at Portland Japanese Garden for nearly 60 years \u2013 the intersection of culture, art, and nature can help provide a better understanding of ourselves and one another. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is a global leader in the field of public gardens and is proof that these kinds of institutions can be a catalyst for vital community-building and social change. In recognition of these shared values, we present a gift of a Peace Lantern as a tangible symbol of cultural diplomacy, friendship, and peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
